With one tap, users will be able to add the folder and instantly join all its chats.

“You can include any public chats, as well as any chats where you have the admin rights to add people,” Telegram said in a blogpost.

Among other features, the company introduced bot links and Telegram Premium on Fragment, faster scrolling for attachments, read times in topics, and improved interfaces.
